It's...Baylariat!

This is where you talk about Destination X and whether you like it or not. Thought Abyss was ridiculous? Angle and Kennedy tear the house down? Are the Motor City Machine Guns for real? Talk about it here. Spamming rules apply... have a blast.
 
Very strong PPV showing from TNA tonight, despite the bizarre and downright corny ending to the show. The main thing that I look for in a PPV is quality wrestling, and this PPV had a good deal of that, there were only maybe one or two matches that were less than average, and they were kept short so it really wasn't a big deal. The X-Division got to show off their stuff in several solid matches, the ladder match was good, as was the Ultimate X (which was probably Match of the Night IMO). Angle and Anderson continue their feud having a solid match, and the main event was on it's way to being a pretty good match before the stupid ending to the match. It was still a pretty solid main even nevertheless.

Overall a good show from TNA, probably the best one they've put on since Final Resolution in December.
 
Given I only read the results online and haven't seen it, sounded like all was great until the shambles at the end WTF????

I like the Hernandez/Morgan story that should hopefully develop from tonight....
 
I thought it was a excellent PPV. Solid matches all the way around. The only bad match IMO was the Terry vs Magnus squash match. I'm a little confused on why Beer Money didn't win the tag titles. I loved the heat that Matt Morgan started getting from the crowd. I think this is a good sign for Matt as this may lead to a push for him. I actually was very entertained in the Scott Hall/Pac vs Young/Nash match. I could tell Hall had been in the gym and worked a pretty good match. With the turn by Nash, interested to see what they try to do with this tomorrow.


All in all this was a very good PPV for them. AND they didn't even use RVD, Hardy, Sting, Pope or even Samoa Joe. Things are going to get good.

**** stars
 
Overall I'd give the event a low C. Good matches but rather pointless endings at times.

I'm not too thrilled with the AJ/Abyss match ending but I'm not surprised seeing as Abyss needed to look invincible without AJ losing the belt. Unfortunately AJ's starting to look more and more like a paper champion. Rub or no rub, that's a disrespect to the champ!

Hall/Waltman vs. Nash/EY: Complete and utter BULLSHIT! What was creative smoking when they thought of having Nash turn on EY for Hall/Waltman? I'm trying to decide what's worse here: Having Hall and Waltman in TNA where they do NOT belong or the fact that EY has been made into everyone's little whipping boy once again. I'm starting to see this turn into a "nasty mix of nWo and MEM" vs "TNA" thing and I do NOT like it.

Kudos to the Guns on earning number 1 contendership. It's about damn time the Guns get the respect they deserve.

Kaz wins the ladder match and gets number 1 contendership @ Doug Williams in a pretty damn good match. Surprised? No I'm not. Happy about it? No I'm not. Anyone remember the last time Daniels actually HELD a title belt?

Speaking of Doug Williams, he retained and that makes me happy. I've gained quite a bit of respect for him. Hopefully he'll have a good feud with Kaz.

Hernandez/Morgan win over BMI. What's NOT wrong with that? Perfect time for Hernandez/Morgan to implode and also for BMI to win the tag-titles that I feel they rightfully deserve after being screwed in that ladder match for both the IWGP and TNA tag-titles.

Tara/Daffney: No surprise there. I would like to see Daffney go less....zombie make-up style though (she looks pretty hot without it!). Big Rob/Brutus Magnus: Magnus went from a huge hype to a giant jobbing fizzle rather quickly. No surprise here either.

Angle/Anderson: Nice to see Anderson get a taste of his own medicine for once! Interesting to see how this feud develops even more.

Question: Where the hell were the KO tag champs? I think just about everyone would have rather seen TBP defend than watch Rob/Magnus
 
-4 Way match for #1 contendership for X-division title was a great opener and nice to see Kazarian get the win 3.75/5

-Tara/Daffney was disappointing I expected better 2/5
-Terry/Magnus please get that belt off of him hated the match 1/5
-MCMG/GM was a great match and the match of the night but I expected it to be 4/5
-Hall/Pac vs. Nash/Young was predictable cause I knew this would happen 2/5
-Williams/Moore didn't live up to what I thought this match could be they just didn't mesh well 2.5/5

-Tag Titles match was stupid I mean it was all about Hernandez/Morgan, but isn't Beer Money one of if not the best tag teams in the world, they shouldn't won the belts and let the other 2 start a feud or let them fight each and the winner gets the titles and let Hernandez win and reunite with Homicide and reform LAX and Morgan can go to singles competition 2/5

-Anderson/Angle was a very slow match and could have been better 3/5
-Styles/Abyss wasn't really good and they've had great matches in the past and add to the ending which was as bad as I've ever seen 2/5


Overall PPV- 2.5/5
 
I thought the show was alright personally. The ending to the main event fit because Abyss looked good and AJ retained. Though I'd have had the dirty finish with AJ pinning Abyss because supposedly AJ will defend against The Pope at Lockdown. Only possible way they keep Abyss relevant is to have him captain a team in Lethal Lockdown with possible Team Hogan vs Team Flair.

The tag title match was alright. Thought BMI should have won the straps and have Hernandez and Morgan fued, not tease the inevitable break up between the two that now is known to happen. BMI winning because of Morgan turning on Hernandez would have been best I think.

The womens match I honestly thought was terrible. WAY too sloppy to be a PPV match.

Big Rob vs Magnus was also terrible because Big Rob makes Batista look like Chris Jericho in the ring. It's a shame they actually gave him a title.

Angle vs Anderson I think was the best non-gimmick match on the show. Best story behind it, solid wrestling, and makes the fued even better with the ending.

Williams retaining was good. Not a fan of Moore and hopefully they give him a nice run with the belt.

The ladder match was your typical x-division ladder match. I think Kaz and Williams will put on a decent fued until they're ready to have Hardy or RVD take the title from Williams and run with it, unless they throw both of them in the main event which is likely.

Best match of the night was the Ultimate X match. Lots of fast paced action. Some pretty good spots, but kind of saw the finish coming. Definately think the MCMG will be the ones to take the titles from Hernandez and Morgan.

I saw the Waltman/Hall vs Nash/EY coming from a mile away. Really not looking forward to this because I think it'll hurt TNA more than help it. Only good coming from this though is EY could get a nice little push, and a rub from fueding with Nash. Otherwise, it was a waste of time.

Overall, I'd give it a C+. It was average. Very disappointed there was no Sting, Pope, RVD, or Hardy on the show at all. Even Desmond Wolfe had his 2 minute appearance before falling under the ring. I'd have been fine with them having Pope watching the main event from the back since he's supposed to get a shot next month. Oh well. I'll never understand the booking in TNA.
 
this ppv was...ho hum at best..i mean...main event had its high point...that belly to belly over the ropes was epic...but the ending sucked...hall waltmon and ey nash was suckish but i was suprised cause i thought hall was out of shape but he looked pretty good and held his own...match still sucked kinda knew nash would turn..it did bring a sense of nostaglia to hear the wolfpac theme song thoug..kinda cool..tag title match was lame...ultimate x match..ive seen better but it was good...i missed the ladder match but i heard it was really good.angle anderson was really good and the ending was perfect like to see where that fued goes....knockouts match..i went to the bathroom and made a snadwhich so i missed it...wasnt important...x division title match..i checked my facebook so didnt pay attention cause i knew it would end that way..the global title squash match was just horrendus...no hype..no moves...no excitement....overall...2.5/5 it was nice to see hogan didnt hog the spotlight but i hated the opening video it was all about him...
 
There are people over at 411 tearing apart the entire PPV start to finish, but people over there have a tendency to just hate on every single thing that ever happens.

I think it sounded pretty good up until the finish of the PPV. I look forward to watching the ladder match, the Ultimate X, the tag team title match, seeing if Hall was in fact in better shape than everyone expected, seeing if Shannon Moore actually got a good pop, the epic sounding ending to the Angle/Kennedy match and the main event itself. All of them sounded good.

It's the ******ed ending that makes it reaaaally difficult to defend liking TNA to people that don't. I literally have no defense for it. If I could sit down and talk to whoever booked it I'd just scratch my head and ask them "why?" with a perplexed smile on my face. I'm wondering what they think they were doing here. Everybody falling into a hole? Having Hogan and Abyss do a pose down to end a PPV wherein Abyss didn't even win? This sounds like an Impact ending, not a PPV ending, but most of the Orlando PPVs feel like giant episodes of Impact anyway so I'm not shocked.

I've given Hogan the benefit of the doubt every step of the way. Hell, I defended the The Band and Nasty Boys (to an extent) and stressed a "wait and see" attitude, but this story with Abyss started bad and is actually getting worse, not better. I don't know which version of Abyss I dislike more: clapping Abyss who talks like a mentally challenged child, or Hogan-Abyss. I know which version I like best though: the original Monster Abyss who couldn't be controlled and would destroy guys at random, bellow at the top of his lungs and then leave. That's what he's good at.

All the worst segments of TNA lately have been the ones that Hogan is in. I know he's the biggest wrestler of all time and their golden ticket into the mainstream, but they really are over-pushing him. He's shown or mentioned nearly 10 time per show. That's ridiculous. On his worst day I don't think Vince has been shown on camera that much. Either Hogan's ego has gotten the best of him and he can't get his head around the idea that people are only somewhat interested in him, or the booking team are overestimating his appeal to a wrestling audience in 2010.

I know that last paragraph seems like spam because it's more of a general state of TNA comment, but I think it's the reason that the ending was so bad, it was more of Hogan appearing where he shouldn't. The Abyss/AJ match sounded really good before managers got involved, and we've seen them put on great matches in the past, so can't they just wrestle their match, have Flair mace Abyss, AJ hit a low blow and either roll him up or hit a Springboard 450? Do we need to see 3 men fall into a hole? Do we have to pretend that Hogan's ring gives Abyss so much strength that he can break the ramp and the ring in the same week?

It just seems like the great sounding work for the first 2 and a half hours will be overshadowed by an abortion of an ending, and I really can't imagine it being anything less than the terrible image the words have created in my mind, but I'll have to see it of course.
 
Oh, and to add to my previous post, can we please give the "put the belts on Beer Money" thing? They've held the titles several times, they were almost over-pushed at times and I got quite bored of them. They're really good, yes, but by that logic Kurt Angle should be the world champion forever and ever, because he's really good. They're trying to elevate Morgandez so that one (Morgan) or better yet both of them can potentially main event for the company in years to come, and this storyline is doing that.

Why do Beer Money have to have the titles? It'll just be more of the same with them beating British Invasion, MCMG and Team 3D month after month. Morgandez are a fresh dynamic and I welcome the temporary change-up in the tag team division.
 
Random Thought here, and there could be many explanations, but:

Could TNA be building Rob Terry as the next Goldberg?:wtf:

I know its weird but the way he ran through Magnus on ppv, beat Mr Anderson (in hogans words a future world champ) albeit with a little help from angle, just seems like theyre building him as an unstoppable monster.
Weve already seen a new nature boy, new Hogan, so why not a new goldberg? I know Terrys terrible, but then again creative chose Abyss to get the rub from Hogan, which says alot. He's got the same sort of monster build, and i wdnt be surprised to see him use a spear or something soon enough, with shoulders like that it could be devastating.

And i guess we all know Terrys got the Hogan-esque physique too, he'll be pushed to the moon and im jst wondering if it could be in the style of Goldberg, running through everyone in the roster.Maybe with a little help along the way( such as the Mr Anderson match) but have him continuously go over and quik, thereby hiding his lack of talent, i wonder if theyre pushing him as far as Hogan wants.

P.s. Tenay said tonight that TNA management consider the Global Belt the stepping stone to the World Heavyweight Title, maybe a clue to Terrys future?
 
This PPV was a B+ until the last match. The X-Division matches (the Ladder match and Ultimate X) were excellent spot-fest matches. Anderson-Angle was a good makeup match for Angle, and showed good back & forth wrestling between the two. The new NWO angle was a bit predictable, but it was necessary for the sake of the story. However, the Knockout title match was a bit pedestrian, and the Global title match was way too short. Then it became a C- due to a very head-scratching finish. I remember thinking during this match, how are they going to accomplish keeping the belt on AJ when they really want the Lockdown match to be between him and the Pope. When I saw that ending, it made sense, but still felt like a kick to the gut. TNA needs to wean themselves away from having the "Dusty" finish for the main event at every PPV.
 
I think the PPV was alright. my favorite matches were anderson vs angle , the four way ladder match. and the tagteam ultimate x. im just suprised that scott hall even showed up at a tna ppv. but anyways if the ending wasnt too corny it wiould have been a decent ppv. going off topic wasnt the pope and desmond wolfe match sussposed to happen to night?
 
going off topic wasnt the pope and desmond wolfe match sussposed to happen to night?
I was wondering the same thing. I was pretty sure that was a scheduled match for tonight. Pope wasn't even on the show, which makes me wonder if something came up and he couldn't make it. If you remember several months back he was gone for almost a month due to some family issues he had to take care of.

Anyway back on to the topic of the PPV. I didn't get to watch it, but will download it in the morning. I did however read the results and from the sounds of things the overall show was pretty good, especially the X Divison matches.

From what I read here is what I liked.

- The ladder match
- Ultimate X (especially with MCMG winning)
- Doug Williams (It's great that Williams is finally getting some mic time and that he is looking to be a dominant X-Divison champion.)
- Morgan turns on Hernandez (Morgan works better in the cocky heel role and I with MCMG as the number 1 contenders, I could easily see them take the belts)
- Angle and Anderson

What I didn't like.

- The World Title match (What the hell happened at the end of this thing? This whole angle with Abyss and Hogan is just rediculous)
- Nash pulls a swerve!?!?! (Really who didn't see this coming? Nash has been involved in more swerves than OJ Simpson's Bronco)
- Brutus Magnus gets squashed by Big Rob (I personally don't have a problem with Big Rob, but I hate when they pull squash matches on PPV like this)
 
It was just a Hardy Boyz starter kit, how could they even hope to compete??? All in all, it was a pretty decent PPV but there were a few snags. Not even going to comment on the main event ending (I think I understand their intentions but still...lame).

Ooooooooooh so we finally have that scrumptious, delicious, all anticipated nWo reunion. Let's just hope it serves only to push EY further, shall we? Otherwise I'll just feel sick because of all those "professionals" still believing we as fans spend money in the hope of seeing Nash, Hall and Pac get back together, wheeeeeeeeee...................

I can live with the fact the Morgandez breakup hasn't happened yet but if they retain at Lockdown, there's gonna be hell to pay! (well, as far as I can make the company pay any hell for stupid booking decisions) I like Beer Money but I believe it's just pointless now for them to stay together and should just split and/or feud (provided TNA cleans up their top tier first as they have waaaaaay too many people up there - second show, anyone?)

As was expected, Angle/Anderson is gold. Anderson may be the goofy heel often but he can be serious and be a great mind games wrestler/momentum killer. He could be TNA's Orton, I think. Annnnndersoooon!! Great match, of course. He's no technical wonder but Anderson still is a pretty good classic wrestler. I think people should stop crapping on him for being overrated. You don't like him that's fine but he still gets the job done (has gotten it done repeatedly against the game's top performer and, although at times all over the place, still is a top notch entertainer unlike many in TNA).

I believe Daffney should be our new KO champion as she is absolutely intriguing/hot/sexy but still the feud seems to keep going so there is still hope for the zombie hottie and THAT is a good thing. :)

Terry and the Global Championship? Please kill me, I can't take it. Although, I dig Williams retaining as he and Magnus are pretty talented but my question is: How in the hell did Shannon Moore get a title shot out of nowhere? Does he have a fan following?? No!! It's Shannon Fuckin' Moore!!! Good riddance I say! Punks are interesting as long as they are badasses with personality (Moore doesn't apply, sorry!)

I still think pushing Kazarian is a bad idea regardless of where you're pushing him to. He still has no personality, even after all this time and a scruffy look doesn't apply if you're gonna be colorful! (Blue tights with a red and yellow logo? Go black or go back!) Well anywho, aside from Daniels, he's the best candidate they have for the division (sadly). Bring back Petey and Low-Ki?? I'd like that and pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one.

Well, looking forward to Lockdown and even tonight's show to see what they have for me. (Hopefully, Daffney in all her glory!! Having indecent thoughts right now! But we shall see.)
 
Oh, and to add to my previous post, can we please give the "put the belts on Beer Money" thing?

cause since Beer Money is labeled the best tag team, what better way to finally put MCMG over as one of the best teams than to beat them for the titles down the road
 
Probably one of the worst PPV's ever.

Kaz wins the ladder match. So what. How many years has Kaz been in TNA? How many times has TNA conditioned it's fans to not care about this guy? He barely even got a reaction coming out last night. And didn't he just lose to Williams in a three way for free on TV two weeks ago?

Yawn.

Hogan telling Abyss the gold around his finger will lead to gold in the ring? And TNA smarks think Hornswaggle is dumb...?

Boring womens match. It would help if these chicks were at least a little hot, but they aren't. Unless you like that kind of weirdo shit.

Rob Terry squashes Brutus. DUD

MCMG get a win. Finally something good on this show. Too bad their opponents are vanilla midgets who look like 13 year old skater kids. Nonetheless, they won so that's good.

Nash turns heel. Hall and Xpac are officially part of the roster now. But like you guys are always saying, the old guys are just there to put over the young guys...can you even say that with a straight face anymore...?

Doug Williams retains the title over another WWE reject they brought in that no one cares about. Basically the 5th throw a way match on this card. Oh, and if TNA thinks they are going to draw even one casual fan with Doug Williams they won't. You have to be a die hard wrestling fan who appreciates guys like Regal and Finlay to enjoy this guy in the ring, cause he's boring as all fuck.

TNA fucks up by not giving the belts to Beer Money. Big surprise. These guys are going to be used so much better in WWE once their contracts are up.

Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Glassderson. Hard for Angle not to put on a good match even with Mr. Glass.

Main Event - all kinds of fail.

Fucking pathetic showing. Anyone who didn't watch this abortion for free is an idiot.

I couldn't agree more,I watched the Replay on the Internet last night and I agree it gave me a headache.

Kaz wins the Ladder Match,No surprise since he always gets pushed and then De-Pushed right after that.

Tara/Victoria vs Daffeny-Ok but Id rather watch Mickie,Kelly,Beth,Michelle,or Gail Kim.

Rob Terry vs Brutus Magnus-:disappointed:

Ultimate X-Nothing I haven't seen before,Generation Me are just Hardy Boy Ripoffs. MCMG Im not big Fans of,they just annoy me for some reason.

Kevin Nash turning Heel for the 50,000th time,who didn't see that coming. nWo Reunion #300,anyone hear someone chanting Same Old Sh*t?

Doug Williams vs Shannon Moore-Boring,Shannon Moore I haven't really cared for even when he was in WWE.

Morgan/Hernandez vs Beer Money-What is TNA doing with this? I was stratching my head on this one. BM is one of the few good things about TNA.

Angle/Anderson-This was about the only Good Match of the PPV but wasn't exactly a 5 Star Match either.

AJ/Abyss-:banghead:

This is why I don't pay for the TNA PPVs,Im spending my money on Wrestlemania.
 
Good by TNA's lofty standards, poor by the very low standards I've set for myself.

Having a ladder match on the same card as an Ultimate X match, worthless. The concept of each gimmick is exactly the same, grap whatever is hanging. Ladder matches work better purely because you can maneuver a ladder wherever you wish. Once you've seen one person hang upside down off some cables, you don't need to see it again. The Ultimate X gimmick is less than 8 years old and it's already obsolete. Two matches, same principle, 4 crappy wrestlers in each match.

Kevin Nash turned heel on Eric Young, does this make Young a sympathetic babyface again? Probably not, he'll probably align himself with Nash again on the next episode of iMPACT!. Terrible match.

Beer Money vs. Hernandez & Morgan is the same match I've watched for the past three years, only they're replaced the infinitely more talented Homicide with Matt Morgan.

AJ Styles vs. Abyss was shit in 2005, since then Styles has become distinctly average and Abyss has become one of the worst wrestlers in the business. At least the ending gave people a reason to talk about the show.

A good Kennedy match isn't something I'd necessarily see as being a positive thing. Yes, it was a good Kennedy match, but it was still very average. Kurt Angle is awful now, the sooner he dies the better. Then WWE can release a Best Of and we can remember the times when Kurt Angle was genuinely one of the best around.

If only all the other matches had the dignity to end as quickly as Terry vs. Magnus.
 
The PPV was so so for me. There were some good matches but some of the finishes I wasn't crazy about. I liked the ladder match to start off the show. I just don't know why they took the number #1 contender ship away from Kaz just to have him win it again at the PPV. Some may think Flair is crazy, but I love his old school character. It reminded me of the Nature Boy of old times with his wild heel behavior.

It was good to see a knockouts match that didn't last 2 minutes like we have seen in the past. Daffney actually impressed me tonight as a real contender against Tara. I couldn't say I was impressed with the global title match because by the time I came back from outside the match was over. I thought the Machine Guns vs. GME was the match of the night. It was very fast paced and reminded me why I loved TNA to begin with.

It was great seeing the Machine Guns finally get their shot. The question is if those tag titles will allude them once again. I wasn't impressed at all with the Beer Money and Morgan/SuperMex match. It was pretty much the Matt Morgan show. We knew Morgan was turning heel but why would he do it after Hernandez won the titles? Why does Hernandez and Morgan need to be tag champs when they are feuding with each other?

I think Beer Money got robbed once again but hopefully the tag titles will reach them soon. The Nash/Young vs. Hall/Waltman match wasn't as bad I thought it would be. Hall was actually in decent shape compared to what he used to be. He is still limited a bit in the ring compared to his glory days, but he can still put on a match. The same can be said about Syxx Pac. We all saw the swerve coming a mile away though.

I don't know how the Wolfpac is going to work out today since they aren't really relevant. Those 3 being together is really the only thing you can do with them at this point though. I never thought I would like Doug Williams but he is starting to grow on me as the X Division champ. I loved his promo against Shannon Moore. I just don't think no matter how many corkscrew moonsaults Moore does that anyone will ever take him serious in TNA or WWE.

Kurt Angle vs. Anderson was a nice long match. It started off slow but these two have the best feud in the company going now. The ending was weird with the camera angles. I thought I was watching an episode of the twilight zone. The main event wasn't bad to start out but the ending was a little ridiculous. No one is buying Abyss as the new Hulk Hogan. Abyss probably got more boos then AJ. AJ and Abyss' promos were more comical then good.

There were some nice spots and the ending came with Hogan and Abyss pandering to the fans. The sad thing is the Impact Zone fans really don't care. I thought I was watching a house show last night instead of a PPV.

Overall I didn't have a problem with the match lengths, just some of the logic and the endings there. The majority of the show was good but still silly. I really hope TNA can get down to business tonight and create new feuds for the Lockdown PPV.
 
I enjoyed the PPV last night but there was a few things that wasn't very good.

The fatal four way ladder match was extremely entertaining. All four men shined and worked very hard in the match. There was some very good spots including the moonsault onto the ladder by Daniels onto Kazarian and the hurricanrana from Red onto Daniels whilst standing on ladder and there was a lot more than that. Brian Kendrick really didn't do anything in the match which I wasn't too happy about as he hasn't proved anything to me as of yet.

The Ultimate X match was even better than the ladder and that's saying something. It wasn't as good as some of the others and won't be compared in the future but was still a great match. Both teams put a great showing and put not only a good spot fest but also a great tag match. Generation Me showed they are just as good as any team and aren't just "spot monkeys".

The Anderson vs Angle match was good. It started off a bit boring but towards the end got good. Anderson got to show he is capable of some good matchs and Angle was his normal good self. I thought the ending made the feud kind off end but Anderson's promo changed that.

Daffney vs Tara was pretty good. Not the best knockouts match but miles better than what we've been getting with ODB and Tara. Daffney looked good in defeat and i'm looking forward to this feud continuing.

Styles Vs Abyss was a pretty good match until the end. The ending was just a fuck up it was unbelievable. Abyss fell down the hole like a dick and Hebner fell the fuck over. Why the fuck did Abyss and Hogan pose to end the show. Its not as if Abyss gets too continue for the world title at the next PPV. It was stupid. The match did have a spiral tap in it though which was amazing.

Young and Nash vs Waltman and Hall wasn't terrible. Hall looked a lot better than he has done in recent match and Waltman did a flip which was cool. I wasn't too crazy on the ending but hopefully Young goes apeshit and beats the shit out of all of them.

Magnus vs Terry. Can't really judge it but it made Terry look good and they kept it short but sweet. Can't really say anything else.

Beery Money vs Morgan and Hernandez wasn't terrible. Hernandez did all of his signature spots and Morgan got over well as a heel. He seemed like an entire cunt. Beer Money were pretty much buried. Well not so much buried but didn't look good. The match was more about the eventual break up than the wrestling which I didn't like.

Flair was fantastic. He made me laugh whenever he was on camera from insulting some kids to cheerleading AJ to wooing all the time, he was fantastic last night.

Overall it was a pretty good pay per view. As I said earlier I enjoyed it but it had quite a few flaws. If the world title match hadn't had a shit ending I think the PPV would of gone down a lot better.
 
Not a bad PPV overall, probably TNA's best of 2010.

But that ending, wow, it was one of the worst PPV endings I've ever seen. It was basically a comedy skit with everyone falling in a hole and spraying each other in the face with whatever that bottle was.
 
What I really enjoyed is The AJ, Abyss Match. That Was Great. I really didnt care for abyss up til a week or so ago. When He Chokeslamed Flair through the stage it was pretty epic. And Then At Destination X Abyss Chokeslammed AJ through the ring. I loved it. Its really putting over Abyss as one strong dude. I kinda wished they had put the title on Abyss. I mean calling the match to no contest was kinda lame but still very strong ending to a great show. I guess we can really start to see Hogans Influence starting to show. Now we remember Y he Is considered One of the greatest minds in professional Wrestling.
 
Let'S get the good stuff out the way, The x-division matches were great, so was the magnus-Rob terry squash. So i'm don'T have anything to say about them. Everything else suck.

First of all the knockout title match wasn'T that great. I actually like Tara and Daffney but they don'T work well together and it showed.

The Tag team title match didn't make sense at all, if they are spliting up the tag team champ, why not give the belt to beer money instead of keeping the belt on hernandez and morgan. It doesn'T make sense.

The Nash/Young vs Hall/waltman match was so predictable and and you knew that nash was turning on young from the time the belt rang and the ending was stupid. Spay painting the ring was stupiud and made the rest of the card look weird.


Kurt Angle vs Mr.anderson was awful. Anderson went from being a huge star in WWE to being a unwatchable guy in TNA. Angle is better than this and having to hide behind a patriotic storyline make this feud even worst than it already is.

Finally the Main event was a big f-u to the fans that bought this PPV. I've bitch about no-contest on PPV when the WWE was doing it and am going to bitch when TNA is doing it. A.J. Vs Abyss was a overbooked mess and the only reason they did that was so both A.J. and Abyss don'T lose their momemtum. No-contest finish match make sense on tv but no on PPV and leave a bad taste in the mouth of the casual fan.

This PPV is what TNA Backward mentality was all about and that why they are losing fan every week. I'm sure that a lot of wrestling fan would love to have another choice but TNA doesn'T give the alternative to the wwe. Instead they are doing a lot of Crap that are not attracting fan but repelling them insteads just like the crap they pull with the main event of this ppv.
 
ill give it a b- . the ending of the abyss/stlyles match was corny but what really bugged me was the angle/anderson match,i expected alot more from these two it was slow moving and just plain boring, somethng you cant usually say about a kurt angle match i just cant figure out what happend here. but despite these two things i found it an enjoyable ppv.
